IVY
Portrait of a girl
Canvas of ages
The stage is hers
Demeur and practiced beauty
Holding all enthralled
Portrait of a girl
Object of rumour
A pose at play
They say
'She's fairest of them all'
Paint her in
One colour ends and one begins
Brush away what's stray
Add the finishing touch
The rapture's cold as a pearl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Portrait of a girl
MATT
Don't mind me
I'm just watching
IVY
Painted illusion
MATT
It looks just like you
IVY
She'll play her part
She sees that she's a work of art
MATT
Just understand
I'm taken in
IVY
Paint her in
Watching on colour end
And one begin
Brush away what's stray
There's disguise in her eyes
MATT
Don't know what to say
I'm scared I say too much?
IVY
Add shadows that dance across her skin
Block the doubt that cries out within her
IVY and MATT
Stripped bare beneath all the layers
IVY
Would you recognise the girl lying there?
MATT
I know there's love lying here
IVY
Sought after
And trapped like a pearl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
Now the portrait has captured the girl
IVY and MATT
Daring you to fall
Fairest of the all
